Drivers should use caution and allow extra travel time
The Arizona Department of Transportation is advising Kingman-area drivers to plan for extra travel time when construction resumes on June 3, to replace the bridge deck on the westbound I-40 Andy Devine Avenue Bridge (Exit 53).
Beginning Monday, June 3, the following around-the-clock lane restrictions will be in place:
- I-40 at the Andy Devine Avenue Bridge will remain at four lanes, but with intermittent lane restrictions at night.
- Drivers should be prepared for delays up to 15 minutes.
- A 10-foot vehicle-width restriction will be in place.
- The speed limit will be reduced in the work zone.
Construction is being completed in two phases in order to maintain traffic on I-40. Temporary travel lanes will be built to enable motorists to drive around the construction zone. The I-40 off- and on-ramps at Andy Devine Avenue will remain open during construction.
The restrictions are needed for construction crews to safely complete the bridge deck replacement project, which includes:
- Replacing the existing bridge deck on the westbound Andy Devine Avenue Bridge.
- Replacing the bridge bearings, approach slabs, deck joint and bridge-mounted sign structure.
- Milling and paving the roadway, replacing curb and gutter, and removing and replacing traffic-control crossovers.
- Replacing guardrail and catch basins.
- Installing new signage, striping and other related work.
Construction is scheduled to be completed this fall. For additional information, visit the project website.
